And how do I remove the battery?

Hm, ok... Tinyumbrella can recognize my iPod, but I can't do anything with it But if it's in the soft DFU mode, does it even need battery? The screen is completely black as it's off

Hey redsn0w crashed as I wanted to go into the DFU mode. Now I'm in the soft DFU mode and I have a broken home button; is it possible to exit the soft DFU mode without a home button? EDIT: I have iOS 6.1.3 and the error is 1601
